What is #GivingTuesday?
Entering its fifth year, #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.
Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.
With #GivingTuesday just around the corner, we’re here to help you join the celebration by spreading the message and raising funds for NMO research.
100% of your donation goes to NMO research.
